Question

I’m trying to hide something for a few seconds then show it again in jQuery.

The problem is is that my code isn’t workig for some reason. Maybe the delay isn’t long enough?

$('#mainForm').hide().delay(8000).show();

Thanks

hide() will occur asynchronously. I think what you want is something like:

$('#mainForm').hide('fast', function(){
  $(this).delay(8000).show('fast');
});
